What color is Dulux Lemon Chiffon 6?

Dulux Lemon Chiffon 6 50YY 83/143 is a pale, creamy yellow with a soft beige cast that keeps it from reading as sharp or sugary. Its high lightness makes it especially useful for walls in kitchens, breakfast rooms, and north-facing spaces that need a little visual warmth. In direct daylight, Lemon Chiffon 6 appears clearer and more lightly yellow, while evening or warm artificial light brings out its mellow, biscuit-like undertone. Pair it with chalky whites, warm greige, natural oak, rattan, and linen for a relaxed, layered look. It can also suit painted cabinetry or a sheltered exterior detail where a gentle, sun-washed color is wanted.
